Pulling from the headlines of the 2009 assault that took place the night before the Grammy Awards, Caleb Bryant (portraying Brown) and Micha (portraying Rihanna) are a volatile couple that are in the public eye much like the two pop stars.

Many real-life references in the show include Micha stating that they should go on a double date with Brown and Rihanna. Also the public reaction to the assault was also referenced, with Micha saying she’s receiving tweets: “They’re either calling me a ho or begging me to forgive him.”

The episode culminates with a fight at the nightclub that kills Micha’s producer mentor with Bryant pulling the trigger. When Micha refuses to testify in court after a confession that points Caleb as the trigger man, the two run off to Bermuda together where the Rihanna stand-in ends up murdered after questioning his text message.
